1 Insufficient technical development
The lack of research and development of electronic signature technology is the primary reason that restricts the application of electronic signature technology in the field of information security of e-commerce transactions in China. Specifically, although China's information network technology has made remarkable development achievements in recent years, it is still subject to some key core technologies. On the one hand, China's cutting-edge hardware production capacity is not strong, and the high-performance servers and switches needed for the development of electronic signature technology still rely on imports; On the other hand, the level of software development in China is low, and the ability to process a large number of electronic signature data needs to be improved.
2. Lack of institutional guarantee
Electronic signature technology itself is not enough to improve the information security in e-commerce transactions, and the promotion and application of related technologies and products in e-commerce transaction information security needs the guidance and guarantee of relevant systems. From the national level, at present, governments at all levels in China lack top-level design for the development of electronic transaction information security, the full responsibilities of government departments are unclear, and some industry management functions are absent. From the industry point of view, the relevant trade associations have insufficient guidance on the application of electronic signature technology, and the management of electronic transaction information security industry of related enterprises is not in place. From the enterprise level, some small and medium-sized enterprises blindly expand and ignore the construction of transaction information security, and the application level of electronic signature technology is low, which is out of touch with the rapidly expanding business needs.
3. Shortage of professionals
The serious shortage of relevant professional and technical personnel is another key difficulty that China's electronic signature technology faces in ensuring the information security of e-commerce transactions. From the perspective of personnel training methods, at present, senior professional and technical personnel in China are still mainly trained through traditional university education. Students generally lack relevant practical experience, do not understand the characteristics of China's e-commerce transaction information security development, and the relevant knowledge stays at the theoretical level. Judging from the use and flow of talents, the number of talents engaged in the development and application of electronic signature technology in the field of e-commerce in China is very short at present, and there is a serious shortage of high-end technical talents. At the same time, due to the lack of system design in work distribution and performance incentive in related enterprises, the mobility of safety technical engineers in the field of e-commerce in China is relatively high, which also objectively affects the application and innovation effect of electronic signature technology in e-commerce transactions.
As a form of electronic signature, electronic signature has developed rapidly in recent years. Although accompanied by various problems, with the increasing market applications, the widespread use of electronic signatures will be the only way for future e-commerce and other fields.
